Yeah.... I'd estimate that effort requiring as much skill, equipment, schooling, and patience as a doctor specializing in separating conjoined twins at the skull. I'd be amazed if the pin-out was similar looking, much less the same. In the end you'd probably end up with something as chunky as my dInc with my massive 3500mAh battery installed... but with only the stock battery.

No, when it comes to actually building anything tech wise, the most I have done is add RAM. I have done plenty of mods on cars/motors, just not on gadgets. I was hoping that the concept would be the same. Maybe, solder here, grind there, and voila...done.

Thinking of getting the xoom over the samsung tab 10.1 are people happy with the xoom?

Sent from my GT-I9000
[Xoom General] Droid-Xer:
If you want a supported device get a xoom. I think the new gtab will launch with 2.1 and get 3.0 in about 8-12 months. (JK, but seriously Samsung has a proven track record of ZERO support for their devices)
[Xoom General] nubsors:
You're probably going to get a bunch of people yelling at you for asking a question that has been asked many times over.

I'll answer though.

In short, yes it's good. It's excellent in my opinion.

Currently all Tablets running Honeycomb are going to suffer from having relatively few apps. This was the case when the first iPad was released. Luckily there are plenty of developers out there dedicated to creating quality applications for Honeycomb. Within a month or two, there will be an influx of applications and people will wish they had purchased the Xoom when they had the chance. With production numbers dropping there is no telling what Motorola's next design might be. It could be a locked down version like the Atrix phone kind of similar to what happened with the original Droid that was running vanilla Android. The Droid 2 had Motoblur and a locked bootloader; currently, owners of the original Droid are enjoying Gingerbread by Peter Alfonso.

Here are some current complaints:

1) No SD card support yet

2) LTE Upgrade will take 6 days

3) Application selection is limited

4) Performance seems low for a dual core product

My response:

1) It is coming and currently the unit has 32 GB of internal storage, are you running out already? If so, sit tight and you will be able to expand it to 64GB really cheaply.

2) Better than waiting 3 months on the release of the Xoom altogether, and if you are using it Wifi only like I am tethering it to my Epic 4G, LTE is irrelevant.

3) This will change with time, early adopters syndrome

4) As Google releases new versions of Honeycomb this will be addressed. Additionally there are already kernels bumping the speed from 1Ghz to 1.5Ghz creating a 50% performance increase out of the gates.

Anyway, it's all preference. I love Motorola's products so I got the Xoom.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
This is like walking into an Apple store and asking if Macs are any good. What are you expecting?
[Xoom General] kjdocs:
Having never owned a tab before, the xoom is my first experience and I think it's awosme.

Matter of fact i loved the xoom so much i dumped my iphone 4 and got an HTC inspire for my everyday phone.

I personally have only one complaint and that is it's very susceptable to glare.
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
Well you're not alone, no one here has probably used the Tab 10.1 before because it isn't out yet! lol.

But seriously OP, coming to a Xoom forum asking a question that's been asked in detail a million times already is ridiculous. You're gonna get pretty polarized answers... Every other post in this forum is about how good/bad the Xoom is, just read.
[Xoom General] aohus:
anywho, back to the OP's question,

i'd wait it out and get that samsung. its thinner, lighter, cheaper, and has a better display than the xoom. but lets not get ahead here, those samsung tablets at CTIA were mockups.

as for updates, do not worry about that, as updates will be coming since the new gtab's will be a near google experience device. CNET has reported that the TouchWiz updates could possibly be an optional update. And tbh, i kinda like the new touchwiz UI.

personally, i'd wait.
[Xoom General] :
Samsung is evil incarnate, having just come from a Samsung Fascinate, I can tell you touchwiz is the most godawful piece of software you could ever have on your device. Not becuase it isnt good, touchwiz isnt all that bad, but, and this is a BIG bit, YOU WILL NEVER GET UPDATES. EVER. PERIOD. THANKS FOR PLAYING BUY OUR NEXT PRODUCT TO GET A SOFTWARE UPGRADE! No thank you. Not playing that game again. Not now. Not ever!
[Xoom General] Eclair~:
I can't wait to see if the GTabs will get updated. That is one of the main reasons people seem to be using to prevent others from liking them. Luckily the general population could care less about going from Android 2.2, to 2.3, and for those who can't wait... rooting is the alternative. Or buying another device.
[Xoom General] iammodo:
Thanks to everyone that posted USEFUL comments.

I was at work and posted from my phone, so didn't want to risk reading 100's of threads.

This would be my first tablet so dont want spend £500+ and get a laggy device.

I have clicked "thanks" for everyone who left a useful comment.
[Xoom General] albundy2010:
It does not really matter if it's close to stock. Example the g2.

If you're one of those folks that always want the updates first you basically need a Google experience device.

Sammy seems to be the worst out of all the oems though.

Also look at the vodafone nexus one as far as updates that are tied to carrier goes.
[Xoom General] spitfirerx:
Motorola has already said that the report on cutting back on manufacturing xooms is 100% BS
[Xoom General] poisike:
I'm also considering buying a Xoom... I was going to buy the Galaxy tab 10.1, but yesterdays announcement kind of changed that, i don't want to wait until June.

So i have two options now, buy a Xoom or the original Galaxy Tab 10.1 (now renamed to 10.1v in EU).

About Xoom, i like the idea of clean Android, updates, USB and microSD slot. I have a feeling that Xoom will get more support in XDA forums also.

I'm not sure i like the extra 131g.

About Galaxy Tab 10.1v, i actually like the original design more, i don't care that it's 2mm thicker then the new one.

But I'm sure I don't like the idea of not getting any updates or getting a update with that TouchWiz UX.

Considering all this and that you have actually hold the 730g Xoom in your hand, which would you buy?
[Xoom General] wang1404:
The Touchwiz UI they put on the tab isnt the same as one on the phones. But still, even that has to be revamped when new version of android comes out. Samsung is the worst when talking about updates. I liked the design of the original GTab 10.1 too, but thinking of updates, I went ahead and got the xoom. Samsung just needs to stop putting **** on awesome device like that and make the damn thing go into shame.

Azrael 3.something, always with Netarchy 4.3 bfs havs more, and Riptide9 v13.

Whenever I drive across towns, the weather does not update, or if it does, it takes quite some time and often the town isnt quite right, and sometimes doesn't update at all (i have it checked for synching)...at night, it often tells me its partly sunny until I manually refresh it...all in all, the whole phone has been acting bogged down from the get-go...is it the ROM, the Theme, the Kernel, or a combo of all? Can someone here please make suggestions, I get really frustrated and I shouldnt have to, there have to be solutions out there, I just dont have any....the weather is whats really frustrating...ill flash a new kernel if need be, but i like the ROM and the Theme...but if its the combo of those, ill get rid of whatever...i just want my phone to be able to tell me what town im in, and what the weather is without me having to go in and hit refresh manually 5 times before it catches up with where i am.....

Also, I get the voicemail notification non-stop...i have to go into settings, calls, then Clear Voicemail...several times a day....could someone PLEASE PLEASE make suggestions...

Went to my fiancee's laptop, installed the 64 bit samsung drivers, along with having ADB set up, and boom... was finally able to connect in Odin 1.7 to restore back to stock. Once that happened, I was able to connect on the same laptop to pull all files from the phone to make sure it was wiped out. You can also check partition in Odin. It's wierd, though, cuz my phone would not connect all of a sudden on a specific pc, while it worked just fine on another. And my old lady's worked on both! Same roms, too. WIERD!

Actually I seccond SVN (or GIT if that's your fancy). It can sometimes be tricky to setup on a remote server but the versioning is well worth it.

I got the impression it wasnt just going from home to work and back that he was having trouble with though. All good suggestions though :)
[Android Software Development] captsisko:

Hmm!

just wondering what any of those have to do with Android development ?!?

I appreciate the dropbox suggestion.

As an aside, I put a document into my dropbox on my Linux computer at home and immediately checked for it on my dropbox app on my Android phone - it was not there.

How about Eclipse RSE ?

As an Android developer using Eclipse comes with the territory.

I came across some thing called RSE( remote system explorer ).

From what I've read, it should give me FTP access to remote files.

But it fails when I try to configure a "Remote system Type".

Does anyone have sucessful experience with this ?
[Android Software Development] alostpacket:
They do stuff like this:

It sounds like you need to better explain what you're actually trying to do. Are you trying to just take some files with you, or are you trying to be able to access your home computer remotely?

They have different solutions. It sounds like maybe you are confusing the two.

VPN/RemoteDesktop/VNC all have to do with accessing a computer remotely which is what you said you were trying to do originally. However it sounds like that's not what you need. Maybe I misintepreted your post. My appologies.

If you're just trying to take your project from home to work and back, then you should set up a server with SVN (or Git or Mercurial) somewhere, possiblly over SSH.

This can be on your home computer, or work (depending what ports your network admin allows), or on a hosted third party server (such as a shared hosting server like BlueHost, DreamHost, or iPowerWeb or something). I'd recommend the hosted 3rd party solution.

Though, if you use linux at home SSH is built into your system.

Dropbox and FTP are OKish, but you might as well just use a USB stick or something...

But SVN and Git have real version control and intgrate with eclipse. If you have it setup properly you can just hit a command in eclipse's project explorer and all the changes are commited to the remote repository.

So anyways, SVN is my advice too :)
[Android Software Development] captsisko:
Thank you very much alostpacket !

You were right about needing to explain better. I was not trying to achieve a remote desktop access solution. I was looking for a way to work on my Android projects without have to copy then on a USB or email them to myself.

I use a VPS to host my websites and I assumed I might be able to work on my Andoird projects via FTP from my server so regardless where I am, I have access to the same project - I don't know if you guys think that is possible ?!?

However, I will start to investigate SVN and Git.

Thanks again.
[Android Software Development] alostpacket:
No problem, I'd say check with you VPS provider too, often times they have tutorials on how to set up SVN, or sometimes even automated one click installs.

There will be some learning curve with using SVN, but it will give you a lot of control over versioning your work. It's WELL worth the effort.

If you ever make a mistake you can easily roll back to an earlier version, or you can "branch" off from the main codebase to try out a beta feature and merge it back later with side by side views showing you where all the changes are.

Most every experienced developer uses some type of versioning control software (SVN, Git, Mecurial, CVS, or SourceSafe).

Git does many of the same things but is a bit more advanced and more designed around larger projects with teams of developers working remotely. (Git was developed by Linus Torvalds for Linux kernel teams to use). Mecurial I think costs $$ and is like git. CVS is a bit old, and SourceSafe is a Microsoft produc that I think also costs $$.

SVN is based on CVS and is intended to be the successor and more user friendly than CVS, but it's still takes some time to learn and some patience.

Many Android developers use Git though, so the choice is up to you, however I think SVN is a bit easier to learn.
[Android Software Development] Dark3n:
FYI a SVN inside a dropbox works too. ;)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Ameliahtc:
I upgrated my HTC HD2 (with 16 gb sdcard that came along with it) without the card in during the process, flashed it to Windows 7 which worked great at first. (I've got the activation-code from windows)

But when I plugged it in to my computer, It shows 66,3 mb used on my internal memory and 0.0 mb left. So I read through like a million threads and didn't seem to find an answere that works.

I've tried and download "SDformatter" and followed it step by step. The formatting is successful, but then again, the phone doesn't seem to recognize the SD-card anyway. I've done it several times. Any help here?

Also, I can't get my marketplace to work. Some error message that says that I should check in again in a while, whatever. Read many people with the same problem as I have, and everyone's

talking 'bout an upcoming upgrade-fix for it. And my phone says that I have one new upgrade to do, but with no storage on the phone, I can't get it done!

(Saw in another thread someone posted a walkthrough on Jailbreak and unlock that he said would work. But then I'm eight back at the storage-problem)

Any thoughts here??? Watched every bloody thing on youtube about theese problems, and read every thread. I'm going mad.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
mate, you need to have the card in before you install it, so plug the card in and hard reset it, note that the card still might not work, you may need a new card.

without the card working dont expect much from the device, so get your card working and see what happens

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12173186&postcount=187

if you cant get that card working then you will need a new one, see my post on that thread, it is PURE LUCK if you get a working card, but make sure its class 2 or 4 as they have the most luck

Save the modded apk in anywhere on your sdcard, let's do it in the "downloads" folder..

Open Terminal emulator (Free on Android Market) on your phone and type:

su

busybox cp /sdcard/downloads/contacts.apk /system/app

chmod 645 /system/app/contacts.apk

exit

Check if it has changed, if not reboot your phone and that should have done the trick.

I use a new macbook air running the most recent Mac OS for android software development and was frustrated at the start. Now it is like clockwork.

My initial configurations was froyo with usb set to debugging support.

Plugged it into my mac and didn't see the device with "adb devices".

Unplugged it and plugged it in again - still didn't see it.

I switched the nook from usb debugging to usb storage. The nook indicated that a usb cable was present and I could see the device in "finder" as a usb drive.

Switched the nook back to usb debugging and presto - there it was in adb devices!.

It will still disconnect from the mac after a period even without going to sleep. The solution is to unplug/plug it in again and it will show back in the devices list.

Thought I was going mad getting this to work but I've got this down to a quick process.
